Barack & CurtisWith Barack Obama's historic nomination as the first black presidential candidate to a major party filmmaker Byron Hurt turns his lens to an unlikely contrast study of Barack Obama and the infamous hip hop rapper 50 Cent. Hurt's last journey into hip hop allowed room for a national conversation on the negative connotations associated with hip hop culture, here we are offered an unlikely match which leads to some interesting comparisons. What could Barack Obama and Curtis 50 Cent Jackson possibly have in common? In the current political climate perhaps the producer's statement best speaks to the intent of this piece, lest it be misunderstood: "Barack & Curtis is in no way intended to create a negative association between Barack Obama and 50 Cent."

Tongues Untied: Still In VogueInspired by the work of Marlon Riggs young filmmaker John Dargan decides to make a homage to Rigg's critically acclaimed "Tongues Untied." Dargan explores the contemporary face of voguing; the power behind identity and self-expression, the connection between safe spaces and the true robustness of spirit that comes to these young men with the beat of every up tempo mix they vogue to. In "Tongues Untied: Still In Vogue" we explore current young African American gay youth and their passions and personal struggles in society similar to Riggs original intention in his 1989 documentary.
